President Anura Kumara reconfirms availability of fuel stocks
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has informed officials from the Ministry of Power and Energy that the country currently has sufficient fuel reserves to meet consumption needs.
He stressed the importance of maintaining these reserves to ensure uninterrupted fuel availability for the public and urged officials to efficiently plan for fuel procurement for the upcoming year, the President’s Media Division said.
During the meeting held today (26) with Ministry officials, President Dissanayake directed them to devise a plan for distributing solar panels, received through Indian aid, to 800 Piriven. He emphasized the need for a clear roadmap from the Ministry to ensure smooth implementation of this initiative.
The President also highlighted the importance of expediting projects financed by the Asian Development Bank and other foreign loans.
He announced plans to establish a committee tasked with approving foreign-aid projects within three months, with the aim of accelerating their execution. Through this process, he noted, projects supported by foreign aid can be implemented more efficiently.
Former Energy Minister Kanchana Wiejesekara earlier this week provided details of the fuel stocks and said that sufficient stocks were able until the end of the year.
